Somali nationals who want to maintain their Temporary Protected Status through March 17, 2020 must re-register between now and Oct. 26, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced.
Key points:
Background: DHS announced earlier this year that it would extend TPS for nationals of Somalia who qualify for the program. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS designation for a number of countries, but opted to extend it for Somalia, saying that “ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions that support Somalia’s current designation for TPS continue to exist.”
BAL Analysis: The decision to extend TPS for Somalia reflects DHS’s conclusion that Somalia remains extremely dangerous. DHS will review conditions in Somalia at some point before March 17, 2020, to determine whether TPS should be extended again.
